The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

The Quanzhen School, founded by Wang Chongyang, the "Central Divine," who was the foremost of the Five Great Masters in the world, advocates the unity of Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. It has been passed down to the present day and has three generations of disciples.

The first generation of disciples were the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, and from the second generation onwards, generational names were established.

The second-generation disciples are named "Zhi," and they are now the backbone of the Quanzhen Sect, with the largest number of members.

The third generation of disciples is Lu Yao's generation, whose courtesy name is "Qing". Yang Guo in the original novel is also from this generation and is named Qingxuan.

Inside the disciples' dormitory, Lu Yao memorized the entire "Complete True Internal Skill" and began practicing.

The Quanzhen Internal Kung Fu is a skill that all disciples of the Quanzhen School must learn, but this does not mean that the level of this skill is low.

This exercise manual was created by Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen School. The internal energy cultivated is gentle yet profound, making it very suitable for building a foundation.

This internal skill, which is granted upon joining the Quanzhen Sect, is something that countless people in the martial arts world would love to learn but could not.

The Complete Internal Kung Fu and the Tangwu Manual are completely different techniques, so there is no conflict between them. Lu Yao practiced them very smoothly.

With Lu Yao's amazing talent, he quickly mastered the basics of Quanzhen Internal Skill.

Feeling the faint internal energy within his body, Lu Yao couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.

"This technique is still too ordinary. I need to learn the Nine Yin Manual and the Nine Yang Divine Skill as soon as possible."

Lu Yao thought of the several divine martial arts manuals in the original work, and couldn't help but feel excited.

However, the Nine Yin Manual in the ancient tomb is only a fragment, and its contents are incomplete. It was left by Wang Chongyang to decipher the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, but it is still very exquisite.

Moreover, the ancient tomb was located in the back mountain of the Quanzhen Sect, which made Lu Yao's mind wander.

After mastering the basics of Quanzhen Internal Kung Fu, Lu Yao stopped practicing and instead took out Quanzhen Swordplay.

In fact, if Lu Yao wanted to, he could directly cultivate the "Complete True Internal Skill" to perfection under the infusion of the Haotian Pearl.

But Lu Yao felt it wasn't worth it, and since he was currently within the Quanzhen Sect, it would be troublesome if his fully cultivated Quanzhen internal energy were discovered.

However, the Quanzhen Swordplay is different. It is a sword technique, and the probability of it being discovered is extremely small, making it very easy to disguise.

Lu Yao quickly flipped through "The Complete True Sword Techniques," memorized its contents, and then picked up the standard longsword issued by the Quanzhen Sect to practice.

After practicing for half an hour, Lu Yao had a sudden thought and activated the Haotian Pearl to strengthen and improve the Quanzhen Sword Technique.

Origin of the World: 280→260

The enhancement from the Haotian Pearl remained formidable. After the milky white light dissipated, countless sword combinations and techniques appeared in Lu Yao's mind, as if he had been immersed in the Quanzhen Sword Technique for decades.

Picking up the standard longsword again, Lu Yao seemed to feel the sword's breath, and countless sword techniques filled his mind.

Lu Yao drew his sword and stepped out, his figure swirling in the courtyard. Each move of the Quanzhen Sword Technique was fluid and smooth under Lu Yao's practice, without any sense of awkwardness.

Even if Lu Yao's cheap master, Li Zhichang, came, he would have to admit that he was inferior.

After finishing a set of Quanzhen sword techniques, Lu Yao flicked his longsword and precisely inserted it into its scabbard.

After taking a bath and changing into the clothes of a Quanzhen disciple, Lu Yao began to talk with the other third-generation disciples of the Quanzhen Sect.

Lu Yao's generous and humorous approach quickly yielded the information he wanted to know.

Guo Jing had not yet brought Yang Guo up the mountain, so Lu Yao joined the Quanzhen Sect before Yang Guo.

At the same time, Lu Yao also found out about the forbidden area in the back mountain.

These disciples were unaware of the existence of the Ancient Tomb Sect in the forbidden area behind the mountain.

Lu Yao estimated that only a portion of the Quanzhen Sect disciples with "ambition" knew about the forbidden area.

Moreover, the forbidden area in the back mountain is off-limits to Quanzhen Sect disciples, so no one usually goes there.

A few days later, after some subtle questioning, Lu Yao had learned all about the situation on the back mountain.

The back mountain is very large, and it's not entirely a forbidden area, so the forbidden areas on the back mountain are guarded, mainly to prevent disciples from accidentally entering them.

However, because there are hardly any people to be seen on the back mountain all year round, and it is extremely boring, no one has ever taken on the guard duty, and disciples are forced to take turns guarding it.

The next morning.

Lu Yao arrived at the Quanzhen Sect's service hall.

The Duty Hall is where the Quanzhen School of Taoism issues tasks to its disciples, mostly for guarding the mountain gate or going out on duty.

Because Lu Yao arrived early, there were hardly any disciples in the Hall of Duty at that time.

Lu Yao handed over his identity token to the disciple on duty at the duty hall.

"Junior brother, what kind of mission do you want to take? It's all in this book. Take a look and let me know when you've chosen."

The disciple on duty yawned and listlessly handed the task booklet to Lu Yao.

"Senior brother, I'd like to spend some time cultivating in the back mountains recently, and I'd also like to take on a guard duty while I'm at it. Do you know if there are any openings?"

After glancing through the book, Lu Yao found that there was no task to guard the forbidden area, so he asked the disciple on duty.

"Guarding the forbidden area? There are people who accept this mission? Wait a minute, let me check the details of this mission."

The disciple on duty was taken aback upon hearing this and gave Lu Yao a strange look.

Lu Yao simply responded to the strange looks from the disciples on duty with a polite smile.

"Someone is already doing this task, ha, and it's even been forcibly assigned."

The disciple on duty picked up another booklet, flipped through it for a while, and then chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao's eyes flickered, and he subtly handed over a silver note.

"Hmm? Cough cough, what's this, Junior Brother?"

The disciple on duty looked at the silver notes in his hand and immediately felt wide awake.

"Please think of a way, senior brother. I'd like to go to the back mountain to cultivate soon."

Lu Yao said softly with a smile.

"Hmm~ This mission isn't impossible to adjust, junior brother. Give me a day, I'll go and discuss it with the junior brother who's guarding the forbidden area. I'm sure he'll understand your sincere intentions."

The disciple on duty chuckled and put the silver note into his pocket.

Actually, the task of guarding the forbidden area wasn't particularly sought after; in fact, many disciples avoided it like the plague, otherwise they wouldn't have been forced to take on this role.

Lu Yao did this simply to avoid too much trouble; having the disciples of the Duty Hall handle the communication would definitely be much more efficient.

"Then junior brother will wait patiently for senior brother's good news."

Lu Yao smiled, cupped his hands in greeting, and turned to leave.

"What a strange junior brother. What's so great about that forbidden area in the back mountain? It's just like any other deep mountain."

The disciple on duty muttered something as he watched Lu Yao's retreating figure.

He didn't believe Lu Yao's nonsense about going to the back mountain to cultivate. He was probably just curious about the forbidden area in the back mountain. He had seen this kind of thinking from young people many times. They would behave themselves after being stung by the jade bees in the forbidden area.

"Anyway, it's none of my business. I just need to do my job and keep my duties in mind. Why should I care about anything else?"

The disciple on duty patted the silver notes on his chest with a pleased expression.
